McGuire is facing a lawsuit after naming a supporter of Good in a press release
VA-05 Republican candidate John McGuire is facing a lawsuit for defamation after naming an individual in a press release earlier this year.
In March, the McGuire campaign sent out a press release saying that a supporter of his primary opponent, Rep. Bob Good, R-VA05, assaulted a woman at an event. Paul Raymond was cited in the press release as the Good supporter who allegedly committed the assault.
A judge dismissed the charge against Raymond.
